Datasets taken near the coasts of Peru and California have been analyzed to explore the evidence of a correlation between the high frequency (period < 10.8 hour) and low frequency (period > 4 day) motions. A large part of the high frequency current is consistent with internal wave dynamics. They...
An analysis is presented of the low-frequency fluctuations [ω<0.6 cycle per day (cpd)] of the currents near the Oregon coast, based on the 1972 and 1973 measurements from moored current meters in CUE-1 and CUE-2. Let u and v denote the eastward (approximately onshore) and northward (approximately alongshore) components of...
Velocity measurements from the continental shelf off Oregon taken during the Coastal Upwelling Experiment CUE-2 in the summer of 1973 are utilized to investigate momentum, vorticity and mass balance relationships for subinertial frequency (ω < 0.6 cpd) current fluctuations. Measurements from stations in water of depths of 54, 100 and...
The low-frequency [ω<0.5 cycle per day (cpd)] current fluctuations at four depths in 100 m of waterhave been investigated for two stations on the continental shelf off the coast of Oregon. One station, DB-7,was maintained during the summer of 1972 as part of the Coastal Upwelling Experiment-1 (CUE-I), and theother...
Epitaxy of III-V semiconductors on Si gets recent interest for next generation system on
heterogeneous chip on wafer. The understanding of band offset is thus necessary for describing
the charge transport phenomenon in these heterojunctions. In this work, x-ray photoemission
spectroscopy has been used to determine the band offsets in...
The diffusion behavior of arsenic (As) and gallium (Ga) atoms from semi-insulating GaAs (SI-GaAs) into ZnO films upon post-growth annealing vis-`a-vis the resulting charge compensation was investigated with the help of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The films, annealed at 600 °C and 700 °C showed...
TAML activators promise a novel water treatment approach
by efficiently catalysing peroxide-based degradation of
chemicals of high concern at environmental concentrations.
Green design ethics demands an exploration of TAML
toxicity. Exposure to high concentrations of certain activators
caused adverse effects in zebrafish. At typical TAML
operational concentrations, development was not...
Grid-scale energy storage systems are urgently needed to increase the flexibility and rigidity of the grid for modern society and take full advantage of the renewable green energy resources such as solar energy and wind energy. Na-ion batteries (NIBs) and K-ion batteries (KIBs) have been emerged as one of the...
Transient liquid-phase diffusion brazing is used in precision, hermetic joining applications as a replacement for diffusion bonding to reduce cycle times, reduce bonding pressure and improve yields. Studies showed that the interlayer used in diffusion brazing can be detrimental due to the use of melting point depressants (MPDs). The goal...
The Safe Drinking Water Act ensures that public systems provide water that meets health standards. However, no such protection exists for millions of Americans who obtain water from private wells. Concern for safety is warranted as most wells draw from underground aquifers, and studies demonstrate that groundwater is affected by...
